Supermoon

"There's going to be a supermoon tonight," Thanajon stated matter-of-fact-ly.

"That doesn't help Jona. Mitthyo is still missing." Dair paced around the suite urgently. He gazed outside his window, the winter sun in London gleamed meekly through the glass. His breathe was fogging against the panes.

"We could use the Supermoon to help find Mitthyo. Besides, I'd much rather we be somewhere where the Supermoon is actually happening. I don't like knowing that it's happening but not being able to see it." Thanajon had not come to terms with the fact that Dair was studying abroad this semester. He had much preferred the tropical sun after centuries of being trapped in a lightless, cold existence. Thanajon had embraced the sun with great enthusiasm and missed it greatly. He had been trying to find ways of getting Dair to return to Singapore as much as possible.

Dair relented. "Fine. We can go back to Singapore. But only for the night." Thanajon practically leaped with joy. Thanajon was this close to leaving Dair in London while he returned back. With Mitthyo missing, he dared not leave Dair alone. 

Dair had been unstable, to say the least, since Mitthyo vanished. He had been having more and more panic attacks and the memories had stopped flowing. It felt like a part of him was missing. Dair kept trying to find Mitthyo, asking Thanjon to teach him all the tricks he knew. He had tried summoning him, like Thanajon taught him to, but it didn't work. He had been quite tempted to leap off a building again but Thanajon vetoed the idea instantly.

"We need to teleport back. Now you're sure that Mitthyo has taught you how to do it exactly." Dair wasn't technically a Lune anymore. His teleportation would have differed greatly from what Thanajon could use. Thanajon had no way of explaining how normal people teleported.

"Yes. I'm sure. Look." Dair teleported himself across the room. It became easier each time he tried it. Most fiction on earth had it right. Just focus and willpower can do the trick. The biggest trick of course, was actually being able to use magick.

"Fine. You ready? Remember, no one can see you. No one must know that you're back." Dair nodded in reply and grabbed his things. 

"Cendana College yes? On the roof?" Thanajon confirmed again.

"Yes." Dair willed himself halfway across the world, commanding the energy around him to fold the space. He stepped forward through space.

"Dair?" He immediately knew that he had made a gross error.

"Fuck," he murmured. Of course his will had wavered at the last minute. He had appeared back in college and transported himself successfully. He had just arrived one college away from where he wanted to be.

"Hi Adgyr. It's good to see you again."

Fleeing

Dair grabbed his hair and pulled on it. His legs wouldn't work and he desperately needed them to. At this point in time, he could no longer tell if he was in a dream, a memory, a nightmare, or reality. All he knew was that he was experiencing it. 

He leapt upwards, grabbing at the ledge and falling short. Always falling short.

Have faith

Dair could only hope with all his heart as he jumped what he knew was the last. His legs were not functioning. They were dead weight. He had been trying to get over this wall for hours now. Jumping and falling, jumping and falling. 

Hoping worked. Faith came through. He hooked onto the ledge and pulled himself up. Elbows tucked in and pushed himself over. He willed his dead legs into motion. One after the other. They carried him through sheer willpower, onwards. 

He caught sight of motion to his left. Adgyr was here. Adgyr was running with him. He had appeared from no where. Dair knew giving up was no longer an option. 

They were fleeing. Dair wasn't sure from what, but he knew they were fleeing. 

"Come on Adgyr!" He grabbed his arm and pulled. 

Adgyr was stirred into motion, his emotions just as high. Dair could feel the fear, from both of them. His heightened senses could hear their heartbeats racing. In the background, a storm of treading footsteps approached. Adgyr couldn't hear them but he could. They were coming and coming fast. 

Dair tried to recall a spell, anything that Mitthyo had taught him. He flung his hands out and imagined a solid wall manifesting behind him. Steady, impenetrable, and strong. Every few steps he repeated the same action, trusting his abilities, or at least, the abilities Mitthyo said he had. He imagined them immensely tall and thick. He imagined them impedimenting the onslaught. He imagined them stopping the chase. 

He could hear them work. His walls were working. The chase was slowing down. Adgyr's phone found that the perfect opportunity to ring. It was the results for an application both of them had made.

"I got it!" Argue stopped completely and smiled at Dair. Dair knew his walls weren't impenetrable. He knew they were being overcome. Each second they stop meant a greater chance of getting caught.

Then he saw them. The first of the creatures almost hit Adgyr. By some miracle, it missed. 

"Ad, great news, but we need to go." He grabbed his arm and pulled again.

"Relax Dair. I got it!" Adgyr was smiling so widely Dair couldn't help but feel his joy. "Besides, why are we running anyway?" 

Dair stared at the creature approaching from Adgyr's front. 

He couldn't see them. 

Dair was determined not to tell him. Mitthyo once warned him that telling someone about what he could see meant lifting the veil that kept them ignorant. Dair just imagined the creature being stabbed and bleeding to death. It happened. It died. And Dair was thankful it worked.

"Just trust me. Come with me." For the last time, Dair grabbed his arm and pulled. 

Just then, from behind, one of the creatures latched onto Adgyr. He was gone. Dair screamed so hard, he jolted himself back into reality. 

Dair was on his bed. He was awake. He knew nothing was wrong. He checked his phone. He didn't get it. He knew Adgyr did. He put his face in his hands. 

He cried.
